Introduction: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) in patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can be a life-saving procedure. The aim of this nationwide prospective study was to investigate the use of DC in aSAH patients in Sweden. Research question: To explore the risk factors and functional outcome associated with DC in patients with aSAH. Material and methods: Patients treated

Background and aim: Circular economy (CE) practices in the built environment require integrating strategies such as life cycle assessment (LCA), cradle-to-cradle (C2C) principles, stakeholder collaboration, and the 10R framework to enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impacts across the entire building. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive framework that systematicall

INTRODUCTION: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are a common driver of suffering and high care needs. We describe the Swedish BPSD registry, founded in 2010 to develop an evidence base for quality improvement in the care of patients with BPSD. Further, we illustrate the potential of the registry by evaluating how individual BPSD affects mortality. METHODS: The registry provi

Purpose: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is related to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, combined data on CRS, pulmonary function, lower airway symptoms, and cigarette smoking from the general population are lacking. The current study investigates the relationships between CRS and chronic airflow limitation (CAL), lower airway symptoms and COPD in a middle-aged populat

The integration of peer support workers (PSW) into the mental health services workforce has offered additional avenues to strengthen service provision. In Sweden, the availability of peer support workers has grown significantly over the past decade, yet there has been insufficient investigation into their organization and implementation. Consequently, there is a growing need for further research i

Here we report on reactive Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of flow and combustion in the US Air Force Research Laboratory Research Cell 19 cavity-based scramjet combustor. This case involves combustion of ethylene (C2H4) injected into a cavity from its slanted trailing edge. It has previously been studied experimentally with multiple techniques including particle image velocimetry, shadowgrapy, OH pl

Aphids cause massive agricultural losses through direct damage or as pathogen vectors. Control often relies on insecticides, which are expensive and not selective. An interesting alternative is to use aphid sex pheromones nepetalactone (NON) and nepetalactol (NOL) to interfere with aphid mating or attract aphid predators. Here, we explore production of these compounds in plants, as their precursor

Objective: Professional operatic singing is vocally demanding, making the maintenance of professional vocal health a paramount concern for the opera chorister. Occupational environment has been shown to affect vocal health for other vocally dependent professions. Hence, the objective of the current study was to explore what occupational environment factors affect the professional vocal health of S

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated trajectories of patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) among participants of a digital education and exercise therapy for knee and hip osteoarthritis.METHODS: A longitudinal observational study among individuals aged 40+ years who participated in the digital program. Participants completed PASS (yes/no) at enrolment and at least one follow-up during one year aft
